An American sickness

How Healthcare Became Big Business and How You Can Take It Back
Book • 2018
In 'An American Sickness,' Elisabeth Rosenthal provides a comprehensive critique of the American healthcare system, arguing that severely distorted financial incentives are at the root of its problems.

The book is organized into two parts: the first half provides a historical perspective on the evolution of American healthcare, detailing issues such as insurance costs, hospital bills, and pharmaceutical costs.

The second half offers specific actions individuals can take and policies that should be implemented to reform the system.

Rosenthal draws from her extensive experience as a physician and journalist to offer practical advice on navigating the current healthcare maze and advocating for systemic change.
